As in my earlier posting about streaks on a garage door due to not rinsing, I turned up at the HO house today to paint the garage door for him only to be met with " I want the whole house repainting " and yes on one of the sides there are a few streaks, he`s already got 3 quotes $3,600 - $5750 ok my insurance will cover this I`m sure, what I`m not sure about is 3 things can I advise the HO that I`ll try and remove these streaks by further softwashing? can I offer to paint the home? and thirdly and stramgely that 2 of the quotes are going to charge for " pressure washing walls with bleach to remediate chemical streaks " then 3-4 thousand for painting the whole house, has anyone been through this situation, if so what are your thoughts please?
It's standard to clean before you paint. If someone called me to paint it I would definately add pressure washing in the price. Personally I wouldn't "try" to clean it, what if it doesn't clean? They are already pissed why string them any further. Paint it and move on.
What he's doing is nothing short of insurance fraud. Contact your insurance company and let them handle it. You're obligated to repaint the surface area that you damaged, however if he's claiming the whole house needs to be repainted, he's trying to take advantage of the situation.

I agree with Mike 100%. Offer to paint the areas that are stained/bleached. If the HO is not OK with this, let the insurance company handle it.

Ive had my share in 2012. Give it to your insurance. Its the sweetest revenge. Insurance companies dont bend to threats, intimidation, or other lawyers. if you take this on yourself you will accelerate your aging process and put undue stress on yourself and your family. Once you turn it over, cease all communication with the client. Call me if you want.

Do not let the home owner put the screws to you. You are onlu liable for what you messed up.
Maybe in a few months it'll be funny. The moment I decided I would come home early, I had to drive an my mc into town to get wifi and call Travelocity. I was running a fever, then a typhoon hits out of no where. Coast Guard closes the water. Stuck on the island with no way to get to the city and airport. Finally catch ferry at 7am. Flight is at 12;30. The ferry is a 2.5 hr grind. Then 1 hour to airport. Sick as a dog, cough, stomach. I was hiding from those machines that can detect fever. Grinded out by immigration why Im alone now, wheres my wife? Couldn't eat for more than 48 hours. I took a total of 4 days to get home with no sleep.
It was like an episode on Locked Up Abroad. But then I was like "Step aside people, Im an American". Now I'm going to watch Dos Santos knock out Valesquez again.
I like Ed's Advice and glad to hear your back and doing better. How did you streak the house? I can see streaking a garage door, but what was the home exterior?
Oh deary me FFS !!! OMG and all that, just visted the house for pics for insurance the guys right it`s all feckin` over it, it only could have happened when we did the gutters my ground guy washed `em down with water just after I sprayed `em it`s never ever happened before it`s gotta be a reaction with this type of paint, but it`s done and we`re re-painting it and moving on. it makes me a bit nervous of it happening again to be truthful.
Good call Simon. You should be able to paint that fairly easy. When we clean gutters we brush them. With that you need to be careful of the soap coming off the brush onto the house.
I know picture can be deceiving, but I swear that looks like a dirty housenwith clean streaks. Have you tossed out the option of a softwash and then CHeck and then see how the house looks?

There IS Bad Paint out there, and Heaven Help you if you come along, and "damage it". The standard response will be, "it was just fine, until your chemicals ruined it! When I work the ground, I wet down the entire house, and KEEP it wet, just like a plant. I fired a ground man, he had all plants tarped, and was sitting on his azz, not bothering to rinse the house!
